I really think public facing figures / influencers really, really need to just stop with the “we got lucky” “we have good karma” “omg we got pregnant on our first try” tit when they announce their pregnancy and just say “we’re pregnant”. There’s no need to humble brag or state the amount of time it took them, especially if it happened the first month. Unless they are an ivf type of influencer or sharing like Elle Fowler is, then stating the time it took is super insensitive.
This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, and the previous comments about being outed by her friend for having sex early, has really gotten me thinking. I don’t think her girl next door / sheltered childhood was actually true. And this comment about thanking karma for getting pregnant really put it into focus for me. I think she was a mean girl growing up and has rebranded as an adult as the girl next door and shaped her narrative to fit that story. And all of these comments and deception in these 6 months with pregnancy came WAY too easily. She’s so proud of how she tricked her audience and they were too dumb to pick up on it. I’m wondering if she was a big of a “wild child” growing up, especially with the whole sex story on the podcast, and didn’t share the whole story because it didn’t fit with her new girl next door persona. Honestly,‘I don’t care if she was a “wild child” or not
